Hibernia Atlantic, the only diverse TransAtlantic submarine transport cable provider, and Huawei have announced a historic first in the telecommunications industry: Hibernia Atlantic is now the first to offer native 40Gbits/s capacity over a subsea span between
Boston and
Halifax,
Nova Scotia. Hibernia Atlantic deployed Huawei Technologies' latest products to allow this significant capacity upgrade over a subsea, international cable link. This cable was built in the year 2000 with a 192-channel, 10Gbits/s system capacity. As part of ongoing network improvements, the Huawei solution upgraded the Hibernia Atlantic cable to a 192-channel, 40Gbits/s system; increasing the capacity from 1.9 Terabytes to 7.68 Terabytes using the innovative 40G technology.
